Filner makes dishonorable list

The Jewish Daily Forward has put Bob Filner atop its “shande” or shame category on its “Forward 50” list of noteworthy American Jews.

Filner made the New York City publication’s bad-boy category because of the sexual harassment and groping scandal that led to his resignation and plea to three criminal charges, including one felony. The list is compiled under the direction of editor Jane Eisner, who tells us Filner had a negative effect on the American Jewish story.

“We feel there is a standard that we hold each other to,” Eisner said, adding Filner failed to live up to the Jewish community’s standards for a moral and ethical life.

Also on the shande list: Ryan Braun, the Milwaukee Brewers (not Twins, as initially reported) slugger who copped to using performance enhancing drugs and got a 65-game suspension; and William Rapfogel, a New Yorker charged with stealing $5 million from a charitable enterprise he ran.
